Double-Declining-Balance Depreciation

 Straight-line depreciation rate = (100% / Useful life)
 Straight-line depreciation rate = (100% / 4 years)
 Straight-line depreciation rate = 25%

 Double-declining-balance rate = (2 x Straight-line depreciation rate)
 Double-declining-balance rate = (2 x 25%)
 Double-declining-balance rate = 50%
 
First Year

 Beginning Book Value = $96,800

 Depreciation Expense = (Double-declining balance rate × Beginning book value)
 Depreciation Expense = (50% × $$96,800)
 Depreciation Expense = $48,400
